Subj : Roy To : Thom LaCosta From : Ross Cassell Date : Sun Dec 08 2002 09:35 am Hello Thom! 08 Dec 02 08:18, you wrote to Barry Blackford: BB>> No one but thom has a valid opinion or point of view, thom you BB>> are one of the idiots TL> Barry, so nice to hear from you again. Over time your nastiness and TL> lack of common sense and manners has increased. TL> Fidonet is alive and well, and since it accommodates small minded TL> folks like yourself, there will always be someone who makes a fool of TL> themselves. and your retort back to Barry's makes you look better? You got after me because I: A. Quoted back Roys cuss words B. and that in anger I cussed him I dont think, since because of your lineage, that cuss words really offend you, I suppose you say a few choice phrases if you stub a toe or knock your head when fishing for something in the trunk of your car? I suppose you are keying in that such usage of vocabulary whether it is quoted or authored isnt conducive to a civil debating atmosphere, regardless of the forum? Well your retort above while free of cuss words doesnt meet your goal of civil debate does it? Why is it Thom that you can do it, others cant, is it one of those things like so: "But thats different" ? Hey we all get heated in debate, but expect to be called on things Thom when you sanctimoniously object to echo conduct but then imbibe in it yourself. == Ross BBS -> http://www.the-estar.com - telnet://the-estar.com rosscassell@mailshell.com | ICQ = 5305939 ....
